Well, that was exciting, but sadly, the grand finale was cut off in its prime. Nevertheless, check out Andrew McGlashan's bulletin, as well as the gallery. And, of course, return to Cricinfo on Sunday for the second Twenty20. From Andrews Miller and McGlashan, it's good night.
9.15pm No, they cannot. The rain has returned and the match has been called off. And the official result is that England have won by 1 run, thanks to Messrs Duckworth and Lewis.
9.05pm Well well, I think we've got something resembling good news. The covers are coming off and the SuperSoppers are going to work. Can they get on before the rain returns?
9pm There is lightning lurking around the ground, which doesn't bode well for a resumption. But the umpires are in the middle, having a look, and chatting to the groundsmen.
8.50pm Now then, England control the game, but the weather is starting to ease, so there might be a chance of a resumption. We'll keep you posted. There is about a half-hour window to get the match going again.
And now it really is bucketing down! The covers are coming on, and dare one say it, South Africa might just have produced another Duckworth-Lewis cock-up ... plenty time for the weather to change of course, but de Villiers and Morkel only went after singles in that over. One big hit would have put them clear
The D/L par for this over is 128.

Another coach derailed
Mickey Arthur's departure as South Africa coach is confirmation of where the power lies in the dressing room. Coaches might pick the team but they certainly don't have total control or accountability for team affairs
